Summary
This week, we are asking the important questions about 2024. Like, what plant will we fall in love with? And what body part will be in style? Those are some of the ponderings included in a recent story on next year’s trends in T: The New York Times Style Magazine. We put the co-hosts of ‘Fanti,’ Tre’vell Anderson and Jarrett Hill, to the test. They are also the co-authors of ‘Historically Black Phrases.’ Tre’vell’s recent book is titled ‘We See Each Other.’
Then, Omkari Williams tells us about her new book ‘Micro Activism: How You Can Make a Difference in the World Without a Bullhorn.’ In it, she argues that everyone can be an activist and that working on a small scale can create lasting change.

It's all about the idea that you can create positive change, even if you can't solve world hunger. We get sucked into this idea that if we're not doing huge things, if our |
| 0:57.5 | actions aren't having an enormous global impact, that somehow they don't matter. And that is so |
| 1:05.3 | far from the truth. But first, it's our chance to sit back and unwind from the week that was |
